Scenes at Bellevue uosn,t,,.

On the lowest floor of all, behind heavy
iron doors, are kept patients suffering from
alcoholic manias. 1t scarcely need be said
that these apartments do not suffer for tell

seem scarcely worth minding about. One of
them, somewhat recovered from the worst
stage, was still dazed and occupied with phnn-

you. Now and then he put out his hand as if
to ward off some stcalthily approaching foe.

An Anccdotc of Lincoln.

In one Of his messages to congress he used
the term sugar coatel." When the docu.
mcnt was placed in the hands of the public
printer, Hon. John d.. Defrees, that officer
was terribly shocked and offended. He was
an accomplished scholar, u man of faslidious
taste, but q devoted friend of the president,
with whom he was on terms of great intimacy.
1t would never do to leave the forbidden
tenn in the messages: it must he eXlunged;
otherwise it would forever remain n ruinous
blot OH the fair fame of the president. In
great distress and modification the good De-
frees hurried away to the White House,
where lie told Mr.. Lincoln plainly that
sugar coated" was not i'll good taste.
"Iou ought to remember, Mr.. President, "
said he, that a message To the congress of the
United States is quite a different thing from
4 speech before Il mass meeting in Illinois;
that such messages become IL part of the
history of the country, and they should bt
written with scrupulous care and propriety.
